The Mouth of Sauron - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

May I just ask a question? When Sauron had efficiently corrupted all nine of the Nazgul, would he come back into possession of the Nine. I was always under the impression that he recovered them, a line in the Lotr was something along the lines of: "The Seven are accounted for, the Nine Sauron holds..." I thought that the Nine were a great tool, once you have finished making Ringwraiths, you get the bartering piece back.

Is it then possible that the Mouth of Sauron is a Black Numenorean who Sauron has given one of the Nine or Seven. If he was already absorbed in the Black Arts, he could have increased his life span before receiving the ring put this on top of an ordinary Numenorean's lifespan and you've got one old Mouth. The man may either not know of his peril, or be too proud to accept that he will become a Wraith.

Just an Idea (hehe) If anyone can either confirm or deny whether he recovered the Nine it'd be much appreciated.
